“The thing you fear most has no power. Your fear of it is what has the power. Facing the truth really will set you free Oprah Winfrey

So what is it that you fear the most? What wakes you up in the middle of the night causing you to worry and feel the overwhelming feeling of anxiety? Is it your health, your child's health? Are you worried about your finances or if someone is going to leave you? Feeling like we are going to lose something or someone or that something is going to change and cause us to have pain is the basis of most fears.Yet most fears never happen. It is a setup, an untrue story that we tell ourselves. It is a conversation that you have with yourself based on what may go wrong. We imagine the worst case scenarios of what will happen and this feeling leads us to take sometimes unnecessary actions that lead to adding more fear into our already weaken state of worry. Fear holds us back and keeps us in a place of feeling hopeless and trapped. It takes over our imagination and fills it with negative thoughts. It zaps our energy and sometimes our physical and mental health. Why do you think that so many people end up in a doctor's office looking for quick fix to deal with the unhealthy effects of fear? But is there a way to deal with fear? Yes there are many ways and here is a link to Martha Beck, who has a quick fix that may resonate with you. It is only the beginning to what is possible if you start to look at your fears differently. Unfortunately we have not been taught how to deal with our fears and without an understanding of its root cause, many suffer throughout their lives without ever really facing the truth of their personal fears.I watched fear destroy the life of someone I loved and I know how it can lead people to make choices based on a false sense of insecurity unless it is understood.

I've watched fear stop so many for living their best lives. And for many years, I allowed my fears to drive my bus. But one day, faced with a life threatening illness, changed all that. Sure, some things are still scary, so I'll ask my fear (who shows up, most often as a six year old child) what would happen if I did do that scary. I have yet to hear a response so instead of believing my fear, I stop and question it. When there's no response, I move through the scary thing and do it anyway.

It's so funny, isn't it? How safe and comfortable we sometimes feel with fear. The devil we know, and all that. But fear is an illusion. It's just a test to show us whether what we really want is worth walking through the it. And for me, there is no turning back. It's forward march into unknown territory while my amygdala fires the whole way!

Awesome title which, all by itself, is a great reminder that we control our destinies. Relaxing into the here and now is a perfect way to fix our minds on what's more important in the moment. Great post!

WOW, this is so very true! Fear can stop us in our tracks to live a full and joyful life. I have been there before and have seen it so many times. Fear and worry are so connected. "Worrying is praying for something you do not want."

It took me most of my life to realize that fear is an illusion and can be dissolved in the face of LOVE. After losing so many family members over a short few years fear took a back seat and love became the driving force in my life. I learned that you bring into your life what you dwell on, no matter if it is positive or negative - so I made a choice to be positive. That family of fear packed it's bags and moved out of my life. WooHoo!! Great post - thank you!
